I Live With My Ex Boyfriend

We were together for 8 years, engaged for 9 months.

It's been kind of an emotional roller coaster the last 3 years. After we had our daughter our relationship just fell apart. I ended the relationship initially and it's been so hard since.

I was living on my own with our daughter for about 8 months until he asked me to move back in with him to help with rent. It's so hard living with him. He's an amazing person, but everything I do is wrong.

On top of everything else after I started seeing someone more ... officially... he has become super jealous and claimed that he had been wanting to rekindle our relationship and that I messed it up. He really hadn't.

When I moved back in I asked him if he wanted to fix our relationship and he expressed that he didn't see that as an option, he also expressed that he could never be with me again like that. So... I just assumed that was the case and went about my business. I dated a lot and he never really seemed to care, until now.

I want to move out, because I feel it would really help me be more independent and I'd actually be able to focus on my current relationship. I don't want to move out because I don't want my daughter to grow up with her parents having to share her.

Co-parting wise we really are a great team. I just don't know. My life is so messy right now. This whole situation makes me want to break things off with the guy I'm currently seeing... even though I've been in love with this person for well over a year and *finally* have a chance with him.

@SW-User He's controlling for sure, but he's not a bad person.

That’s very brave if you to share and be transparent here. I hope you are seeing the positive constructive feedback from your friends here.

I think it's wise to not just live together.. Everything sounds strained and tense and now even awkward.
